Yes, I think we all need to appreciate that we have a fantastic resource on the west coast, and a large number of good species with good value. If we don't do anything, we're not going to have enough people to pull them out of the water. You can't just go to school for three months and get a ticket and go catch fish. It takes years to learn that from the previous generation. If we don't encourage more young entrants now and try to bring back people who have left with that knowledge, we're not going to have the means to pull the fish out of the water using Canadian labour.
Then you start wondering where we go from there. Well, maybe we start bringing in foreign workers to catch the fish for us because we don't have enough qualified people, and you can see where that goes. If we change policy now, we can recruit more young entrants, and over the next decade they can learn the skills necessary to fish, and we can continue with a healthy next generation. It's at risk right now. We can't even find crew right now because there aren't enough net benefits left over to make it worth their while.
